ATTAINING AUTHORITY TO RULE THE KINGDOM OF GOD/HEAVEN

THAT IS INSIDE YOU

God is Thought. Thought is the source of all power; only Thought creates. Angels are the fruit of God’s Thoughts; you are the fruit of God’s Thoughts. The brightness (glory) of our revelations (our corrected now holy Thoughts of God) depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid one upon another like the rungs (stairs) of a Jacob’s ladder, ascending into the mind of Christ. Angels are the Thoughts of God created as Spirits. You and I each are a corrupted thought (spirit) of God, a criminal temporarily confined (imprisoned) in a human body. We all are fallen angels, but a willing few of us are being restored, reinstated, repaired, reconditioned back into Heaven and fellowship with Father God.

 

WHEN/WHERE IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD/HEAVEN??

(Luke 17:20,21) And when he [Jesus] was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation [Gk: ocular evidence]: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold [Gk: used as an imperative lo: see], the kingdom of God [the kingdom of heaven] is within you [Gk: inside you] [IS WITHIN YOU].

1.    (Matt 19:23,24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly [syn: barely, scarcely] enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

2.    Commentary: the kingdom of God/Heaven is not only “inside you” but also NOW. What does that mean for you when applied to you? How does knowing that affect you?

 

(Luke 19:11,12) And as they [everybody] heard these things, he [Jesus] added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God [heaven] should immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman [speaking of Himself prophetically] went into a far country [to recede from our sight (from our visible and conscious awareness), into the invisible subconscious of our mind] to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return [to our sight (to our visible conscious awareness), and the full consciousness of our mind, otherwise described as “the glory which shall be revealed in us” (Rom 8:18), “But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Cor 2:16); however, social scientists say that only 10% of our functional brain capacity is currently activated].

1.    consciousness = Dict: 1. the state of being conscious; awareness of one’s own feelings, what is happening around one, etc. 2. the totality of one’s thoughts, feelings, and impressions; conscious mind.

2.    subconscious = Dict: 1. occurring without conscious perception, or with only slight perception, on the part of the individual: said of mental processes and reactions. 2. not fully conscious; imperfectly aware – subconscious mental activity.

3.    (1 Cor 2:16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

4.    (Rom 8:18,19) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover, disclosed] in us [REVEALED IN US]. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation [Gk: disclosure: appearing, coming, be revealed, revelation] of the sons of God.

 

THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD

(Judg 7:18-22) When I [Gideon (Heb: feller, warrior /// to fell a tree), a type and shadow of Jesus Christ] blow with a trumpet [1 Thes 4:16], I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon [i.e., the Holy Spirit]. So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch [10 pm]; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers [thereby revealing the flaming torches] that were in their hands. And the three companies [representing (under the command of) God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit] blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers [Heb: earthenware] [“And the LORD formed man of the dust of the ground” Gen 2:7], and held the lamps [Heb: flaming torches] in their left hands, and the trumpets [Heb: a clear sound] [i.e., the Word of God] in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. And they stood every man in his place [“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” James 4:7] round about the camp [of 135,000 Midianite (Heb: brawling, contentionous, discord, strife) unsaved warriors]: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. And the three hundred [chosen combat warriors] blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow [look around you, that is happening today, in person, nation, world], even throughout all the host: and the host fled [from Gideon (Jesus Christ)] to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.

 

IN FLAMING FIRE

(2 Thes 1:7-12) And to you who are troubled [Gk: (in) tribulation] rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven [REVEALED FROM HEAVEN] [and where is heaven?] with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints [GLORIFIED IN HIS SAINTS], and to be admired in all them that believe [ADMIRED IN ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE] because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you [GLORIFIED IN YOU], and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

“I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS” (Luke 2:49)

(Luke 19:13,14) And he called his ten servants [Gk: voluntary slaves in subjection, subserviency” bondmen], and delivered them [His] ten pounds [Gk: a certain weight] [i.e., one pound to each servant], and said unto them, Occupy till I come [i.e., return]. But his citizens [Gk: townsmen] hated him [Gk: (hatred); detested (espec. to persecute); to love less], and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign [Gk: rule] [preferring “mannon” (Gk: wealth) (Luke 16:13) which is “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4) personified in Satan, to reign] over us.

1.    Commentary: ten pounds Gk: a certain weight = i.e., something of substance, a thing to be borne, shouldered (carried, supported) like the Tabernacle, from place to place. As a servant in service to the nobleman, the “pound” is something one willingly accepts responsibility for. Symbolically, that something belonging to the nobleman and accepted by His servants consists of His Thoughts, the Word of God, the Bible.

a.     responsible = Dict: expected or obliged to account (for something, to someone); answerable; accountable. [i.e., trustworthy]

2.    Occupy = Gk: to busy oneself with, to trade /// a deed: business, work /// practice, perform repeadedly or habitually.
